The University is attempting to dismiss the lawsuit from Conine, according to the Champaign County clerk’s office.

Conine filed the lawsuit in July, claiming that a mishandling of a concussion ended her soccer career and made doing day-to-day activities difficult.

This lawsuit is one of the many against the athletic department regarding mishandling of injuries or abuse. Franczek Radelet, a Chicago-based law firm, is still conducting an external investigation into injury allegations against the athletic department

Illinois soccer has its season opener against Oakland Friday at Illinois Soccer Stadium at 7 p.m.
